Abstract
Corn is the second main source of carbohydrates and protein after rice. Corn production decreased by 2,816 quintals due to the attack of armyworm pests. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of babadotan leaf extract as an insecticide to control armyworms in corn plants. This research was conducted in Pau Village, Langke Rembong District, Manggarai Regency, from February to May 2024. This research was an experimental design and this research was block randomizes design (RAK) by using four times repeats by using variant doses of babadotan leaf extract in the control treatment, 300 gr/L, 450 gr/L, 600 gr/L and 750 gr/L. The data were analyzed by using one-way ANOVA. The results of the study showed that administering a dose of babadotan leaf extract had a significant effect in reducing the intensity of armyworm attacks by 52% and increasing armyworm mortality by 100%.
